钻研：嚼口喷鼻香糖利于肠胃手术后规复 Chewing gum after intestinal surgery can help reactivate paralyzed bowels and get patients out of the hospital sooner, a study said on Monday.
Patients who have abdominal surgery often suffer a slowdown or shutdown of the bowels called ileus that causes pain, vomiting and abdominal swelling, and they may not be able to tolerate food or even water, the report published in the Archives of Surgery said.
Study participants had no problem chewing sugarless gum three times a day. Chewing stimulates nerves that promote the release of hormones responsible for activating the gastrointestinal system, wrote study author Rob Schuster of Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in California.
Seventeen of 34 patients who chewed gum beginning a few hours after surgery passed gas several hours sooner than the half who did not chew, and they had their first bowel movements an average of 63 hours after surgery compared with 89 hours for non-chewers.
The gum chewers got out of the hospital an average of 4.3 days after surgery versus 6.8 days for non-chewers, reducing costs and lowering the risk of complications .
"We conclude that gum chewing early in the postoperative period following (surgery) hastens time to bowel motility and ability to tolerate feedings," the report said. "This inexpensive and well-tolerated treatment resulted in earlier hospital discharge."

本周一公布的一项钻研表明，患者在接受肠道手术之后，嚼口喷鼻香糖可以匡助他们麻木的肠道规新生动，有助于患者早日出院。
据刊在《内科文献》上的陈说称，患者在接受腹部手术后，常常会出现"肠阻塞"现象，即肠道活动迟钝或是肠道活动防止，这将激发腹痛、吐逆或腹涨等反响反应，患者年夜概因此无法进食，乃至无法饮水。
美国加州圣芭芭拉医疗站的罗布-舒斯特是这项钻研陈说的撰写人。他在陈说中写道，此项钻研的介入者每天嚼3次无糖口喷鼻香糖。嚼口喷鼻香糖将安慰人体内某些释放激素的神经，而这些激素有助于促进肠胃系统活动。
在介入钻研的34名患者中，有一半的患者在手术之后的几小时就开始品味口喷鼻香糖。钻研发明，品味口喷鼻香糖的患者比另一半不嚼口喷鼻香糖的患者早数小时排气，并且，前者匀称在手术后的63个小时里就出现了首次肠道活动，尔后者在术后89个小时才出现首次肠道活动。
那些每天品味口喷鼻香糖的患者术后匀称4.3天就出院了，而另外不品味口喷鼻香糖的患者匀称6.8天后才出院。品味口喷鼻香糖不但淘汰了患者的医疗开支，同时还低落了发作并发症的危险。
“我们得出如许一个结论：手术后早期品味口喷鼻香糖，有助于患者肠道早日规新生动并促进他们的进食本领，"陈说说，"这种廉价又随便接受的医治体例能匡助患者早日出院。”
